-there is a reason why XMN costs less

This drill honestly does cost $10k, even if 857 fares drop.

But, if you have the stomach for it, make it happen!

They only want to go there as a tourist and are willing to pay whatever fee is necessary including quarantine. Also assume this person is ridiculously stubborn as they are on FT.

How do they get a residence permit? You know an agent who can get a PU Letter for a job that doesn’t exist (and that this hypothetical person doesn’t even want to do, except for on paper)? And can shortcut the line in front of all the English teachers and other people applying for legitimate jobs?
